Andre Iguodala, now of the Miami Heat, shared some advice to Memphis Grizzlies young studs Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks. Taking a page out of Marshawn Lynch's book, Iguodala told them to take care of their chicken and their mentals.

For the three-time champion and former Finals MVP, Morant will be crowned Rookie of the Year at the end of the season. He also commended Brooks who signed a three-year, $35M contract extension. Channeling NFL star Lynch, the new Heat forward told the youngsters to take care of their finances, food and their state of mind.

It's a classy little comeback from Andre Iguodala. After all, Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant gave him a subtle ribbing for not wanting to suit up for the Grizzlies.

Both Ja and Dillon have been feeling good about themselves, especially since the Grizzlies have been doing well this season. They currently sport a 27-26 record for eighth in the West. What's amazing is that they're doing it with a roster filled with up-and-coming players.

Iguodala, for his part, seems to have no hard feelings for them. After all, when the 36-year-old was traded to the Grizzlies, he told them that he wanted to be part of a contending team at this point in his career.

Iggy played his first game for the 2019-20 season on Sunday. In 23 minutes of action for the Heat, he chipped in two points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.
